I think that this song called Mr. Brightside by The Killers has many connections to The Great Gatsby. Make sure to take notice of the setting of the music video, the attire of the characters, and the meaning of the lyrics.... feel free to comment.
I didn't see the resemblance when I thought about the video. But when you actually watch it and relate it back to the book I can see the attire and setting definitely relating back to the story.
This speech from May 6th, is an example of Fitzgerald's ideas, but an issue that we all face. Try and listen for subjects of reality, passion, make it if you try, people raise from the bottom to the top, with stakes too high and challenges too great and prosperity. I'm not saying that everything thats said is relevant byt its interesting how the same issues from the 1920's are still in play today.
